Now she plays to casinos in Vegas.
ATRL paints her as this huge global phenomenon but she doesn't have a single tour that's exceeded $150 million in gross.

Honey no...
We all know Britney would have been one of the first pop girls to gross over 200 million if she took the circus tour to South America and Asia - There was a huge demand but she isn't about that life. She went home to ha kids.
As for her incredibly successful and acclaimed Vegas show, you can have several seats in the nosebleed section boo.

Most artists tbh. It's not THAT often that a tour is super eventful or a big deal.

Yet what you seem to be forgetting, AMENHOOKER, is that touring is much more lucrative nowadays than it ever was, hence why 4 of the 5 highest grossing tours of all time occurred in the last 8 years. And the fact that she was still grossing close to what newer pop girls at the supposed "peak" of their career, despite being a decade passed her own peak speaks volumes, don't you think?
PS: The "casino" show she's playing is set to outgross other girls' last tours with only half the tickets sold.
PPS: Gaga won

Oh wow, the percentage of the title you understood actually fits the percentage of your reports that ended being warned.
OT: I can imagine Lana Del Ray concerts being uneventful. Not bad though would like to see her

Ohh, so different sales climate only matters when we're comparing album sales?
OT: Lady Gaga. It seems no one but her stans hype her shows up like say Beyonce's.

Right? We can multiply the sales of two albums to fit the sales climate a decade ago for one album, despite having album equivalents which give us a full grasp of music consumption, but when it comes to touring stats, there's no point in adjusting according to those same users  A true kii.
OT: C2C Tour. The music was uneventful, the performances looked boring, etc. The tour only grossed $18M for a reason. Praying Gaga can pull off another Monster Ball this year and redeem herself

Top female touring artists of the 2000s (Billboard)
1. Madonna
2. Celine Dion
3. Cher
4. Britney Spears
As you can see, all the acts above Britney Spears were seasoned veterans. She was literally the only act from her generation on this list.
Let's compare Britney Spears to someone who is CLEARLY a touring monster, like our precious Mother Monster, for example. By the time the 2010s list is posted, she will end up outside the top 5 with Beyonce, Taylor, Madonna, Katy, and possibly more outgrossing her. Maybe Rihanna too. Unfortunately, her last world tour kinda did FFT numbers and will get outdone by a Las Vegas casino show.
Going by your logic that you can't be a huge global phenomenon without a tour that's exceeded $150 million in gross, Mariah Carey was never a global phenomenon either, considering she doesn't have a tour that's exceeded $75 million.
Also, the Circus tour did gross over $150 million if we pull up the adjusted receipts. Like when we claim The Fame would've sold 93 million back in the 90s, Born This Way 44 million, ARTPOP 15 million, etc.
PS: Gaga won

Wow, you're so right  I hope my fave Ga Ga will be able to serve another MBT next era. All receipts are pointing to it happening since the GP seem to be hungry for #LG5

Isn't this the case for most artists? Why would you care or be excited about an artist going on tour unless you're a fan

Which has outgrossed the tour you mentioned (ARTRAVE) by quite the considerable margin with less tickets
Edit: Not page 2 being full of AMENHOOKER drags dd. Anyway, the answer? hmm probably Michelle Williams or Lady GaGa.

It's so great that you're finally embracing the fact that Gaga is your fave, and stanning her so much  It's really heartwarming to see the amount of time her fans put forth for her <3

Taylor Swift. I've been to both the Red Tour and The 1989 World Tour and tbh most of the time at both shows it's just her preaching and it sounds so conceited, fake and scripted. Videos from the shows are like trailers to a movie, they make it seem so good until you're there and wondering when the really great parts are coming.
Don't get me wrong the show was good, her voice is good live and I'll go to her next tour but really a lot of the show is just her strutting and aside from Bad Blood a lot of her choreography was just her lifting her hand, shaking her hips and caressing her body.

Lady Gaga post Monster Ball. No one cares anymore and the decline in quality from her first tour to the Artpop one is vomit-worthy.
